Page 5 of We Could Be Better

6 months later

Here I was in a club celebrating my divorce I didn’t want to but Nik and my sister thought it would be a good idea and it may help clear my mind. Once Keith was served his papers I was beyond hurt when I saw he actually decided to sign them. On top of that when were in court he told me I can take everything and he didn’t want anything from me. After that it was like he just vanished from the earth I hadn’t seen him since that day in court. My sister and mother was right the whole time but like the big girl I was I shrugged his off and kept pushing. I packed up my bags and moved to Atlanta along with my sister, Mina, and Onika. I even opened up a new shop up here and it was doing great to say I was new to town, but all it took was one person to trust me and business started booming.

My sister called me and told me about this new club opening tonight. I wasn’t up for partying at first but then I said what the hell and deiced it was time I got fucked up and forgot about my miserable life for once. I hadn’t seen Cash since that day I went back to our old neighborhood which was fine by me. I’ve seen pictures of him and his girlfriend that people would share on my newsfeed and they looked like such a happy couple. I figured that I would stop waiting around for him and let go just as he did me.

“Girl, how did you hear about this club?” I asked Dreka

“Some women were in grocery store earlier talking about the grand opening.”

“It’s nice and they playing all the music I like.” I said singing along to Bryson Tiller song exchange

This what happen when I think about you

I get in my feelings, yeah

I start reminiscing, yeah

Next time around, fuck, I want it to be different, yeah

waiting on a sign guess it’s time for a different prayer

Lord, please save her for me, do this one favor for me

I had to change my player ways, got way too complicated for me

I couldn’t even front I was in there feeling myself. I decided to wear an all white bandage dress with some nude red bottoms and messy bun and some red lipstick to top it off. Thanks to my sister my face was beat for the Gawds hunty and I was in here felling like the old Ky. Feeling good, smelling good, I had my girls with me and we were all shutting the club down. New to the city and was getting mugs from each direction, but I wasn’t tripping thanks to those shots of Hennessey ya girl was on cloud nine.

“Damn, I thought you decided to run away from me again.” someone whispered in my ear.

I knew that voice and Versace cologne from anywhere. I was in the middle of the club tipsy and my pussy was dripping wet just from the sight of Cash. Here he was standing here matching my fly with some all white Levi pants an all white polo button up and a pair of nude high top red bottoms his iced out grill topped his whole outfit off. I looked him up and down and was stuck; I was going to the fuck the shit out of his ass tonight.

“Don’t let me find out you went through my closet and saw what I was wearing.” He smirked

“Fool I didn’t even know you were going to be here. Now excuse me let me go find my girls.” I said and turned to walk away I don’t know what made me catch an attitude but that’s just how much I hated him and loved him at the same time. I couldn’t give him the satisfaction he wanted. I walked up to the VIP to see Keem staying onside my sister. I was shocked because I thought drek said they pushed his sentence back and he was getting out In another year. From the look on my sister face she thought so too.

“What’s up lil sis? You don’t look too happy to see me” keem said as he leaned in to hug and kiss me on the cheek.

“I thought you had another year, I’m just shocked that’s it.” I said

I looked pass him to see Cash and his girlfriend Bella reach our VIP section. I rolled my eyes and continued talking to Keem and Dreka I wanted to cry so bad, but this was something that I was use to. No matter how much I liked or loved him he didn’t feel that same way about me and I don’t know why I just couldn’t get that through my head. My sister looked to see what was bothering me and whispered in my ear for me not to let him ruin my night and she was absolutely right. I was single and ready to mingle.

“Hey fam this my girl Bella.” Cash introduced us all one by one but when he got to me for some reason his girl wasn’t having that. I held my hand out for her to shake and let me tell you this bitch decided to slap my hand and just like that on que Dreka ran to see what was going on. I had to look at my hand for a minute as I continued to hold it out.

“You know me ma?” I asked as I continued staring at my hand

“Bitch I don’t have to know you but from what Cash say you are stuck on stupid behind him. When are you going to get it through your pretty little head that my nigga don’t want you?”

I was shocked at everything this bitch was standing here saying. Now I know he didn’t want anything to do with me. Exactly why I didn’t try anything with him, but damn before we were anything we were friends, well at least that’s what I thought and from the look on Onika face she was hurting worst than I was. We did all come up together and talking behind one another backs was a big ass no no. He had royally fucked up my trust.

“Is that right?” I asked looking from her to Cash

“Yeah bitch! Look how pathetic you are stalking my man just to see what he was wearing just so you can dress like him. Who does that?” at this point I was so mad damn mad that I was in her face so close our noses were touching

“Girl, don’t let this pretty face fool you. I get down with the best of them now since your nigga told you so much about me. Ask him how descent my hands are and then after I finish beating your ass while yall lay up tonight pillow talking about me. Ask him why he brought you out here to get your ass whipped” I said right before I punched her in the face and stomped her ass out.

Dreka never let me fight a bitch by myself so while they were carrying me out Onika, Dreka, and Mina were taking turns on that hoe face. Once everyone got outside I was following my sister to the car when I heard someone calling my name. I turned around to see Cash coming my way.

“What’s up?” I asked with a mug
